I wholeheartly agree. The clash of the two cavalry forces from the Battle of Tannenberg (spelling) was heard for miles. Here you don't hear or see practically nothing, even if you manage to get your cavalry charging (as hard as it is).

Cavalry charges are probably broken, they should be possible and they should be more devastating. You can't really compare them to RTW era since medieveal knights with their armour were heavier (so the force of an impact was by far larger), they had stirrups and way larger battle horses. Charge of heavy cavalry SHOULD penetrate at least 2 or 3 lines of enemy's foot units, especially if latter are some peasents or low grade milita, even if they are armed with (short) spears. Currently cavalry can't smash thorugh 3 lines even if they are in wedge formation (!?).

They weren't called the kings of the battlefield for nothing, you know...

On a side note, maybe they should had only one charge per battle since once their lances are broken they can't use them anymore...
